The Kex2 protease of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and two recently discovered human homologues define a novel subfamily of subtilisin-related serine proteases that may be responsible for cleaving prohormones and other precursor polypeptides at paired basic residues in the eukaryotic secretory pathway. Here, the pathway of post-translational modification of Kex2 protease, its domain structure and primary sequence specificity are discussed.
